Shutter rotation problem in my rulefile

Hello !

I'm currently working on a rulefile to generate buildings from an italian town. I wanted to make the some shutters opened with different rotations, but i encountered a problem : My first shutter works perfectly fine, and rotates in the correct way, but the second one rotates from the middle of the window, and i would like it to rotate from the side of the window. Maybe it isn't very clear, so i put screenshots from the models and from my rulefile on this post.

Same problem here...

And here :

And here is the screenshot of my rule where i tried to do the rotation command. As you can see, i split the "Facade__1_1_5_2_1_2", (it was the 2 shutters combined), and then i tried to use the rotate command on each one of them to create the opening effect :

Thanks for the help !

Jules

Hi Jules,

changing the position of the Shutter pivot will do the trick.

Facade__1_1_5_2_1_2 --> setupProjection(0, scope.xy, '11.0092, '3.7067, '-1.2927, '-2.2608) projectUV(0) color(shutt_color) split(x){~1:Shutter1 |~1: setPivot(xyz,1) Shutter2} Shutter1 --> extrude(0.1) rotate(rel, world, 0, 40% : 0 else : rand(-80,-180),0) Shutter2 --> extrude(0.1) rotate(rel, world, 0, 40% : 0 else : rand(80,180),0)

If the Shutter hinges along the wrong axis, just change the corner number in the setPivot operation.

Hope that helps.

I installed Shutter Encoder so that I'd be able to flip upside-down video, but I can't seem to make it work...I saw another post that explained how to download 'tools' and drag these into '*' , and I think I'm applying the action correctly in that Shutter Encoder generates a new file as requested...But the new file is not rotated?? I'm starting off with MP4 files and creating new MP4 file https://speedtest.vet/
